What is
Neglect?

Enduring neglect can significantly impact the mental health of individuals in different ways. Understanding and addressing experiences through therapy can lead to improved well-being and quality of life.

What Is It?

Neglect is when a person’s basic emotional or physical needs are not met and might happen in childhood or later in life. It can involve lack of care, attention, safety, love, or emotional connection from those responsible.

Common Experiences

People who’ve experienced neglect may feel invisible, unworthy, or struggle to trust others. They might have difficulty expressing needs, setting boundaries, or forming healthy relationships. These patterns can continue into adulthood and affect many areas of life.

How It Can Affect You

Neglect can leave deep emotional wounds. Therapy offers a safe space to explore those early experiences, understand their impact, and begin rebuilding a sense of self-worth. Over time, it can support healing, healthy connection, and emotional resilience.
